    A very realistic, crown of thorns, could add some fun to your Easter dress up or decorations this year.

  6. Thank you for the well done tutorial, and thank you even more for rewording your post. I needed a crown of thorns for our passover events and an educational tool for the children. This was perfact thank you again. And I agree with you, in order for children to have an informed decision, they need to be exposed to both sides. Amen.
